Seeing that Luoti was relatively easy to talk to, Lu Cang decided to take this opportunity to learn more about things that were normally difficult to discover.
"May I ask something?"
"This Trial… is it really mandatory?"
"If I were to recruit followers without passing the Trial, would something bad happen?"
Lu Cang asked, confused.
Luoti didn't keep him in suspense and simply replied, "If it's just for followers, you don't need to pass a Trial. But if you want your own Disciples, a Trial is necessary."
"Disciples?"
"Yes. I don't know what you call them in your current era."
"But it's essentially the means by which gods bestow some of their Authority upon ordinary people."
"Passing the Trial also deepens the bond between a god and their Disciple, making it easier for the god to channel their power into the world."
"It's not just a Trial; it's also a Ritual."
